Public Netrek Servers, through Jan 1 1994

This is an attempt to list some basic information about EVERY public Netrek
server that ever was. My goal is to list the people who set them up and
get a rough idea of when the servers were running.

Sometimes Netrek servers go through several names. When possible, all of
the names are listed, in reverse chronological order. In any event, they're
sorted by the most recent name.

Sometimes the same host will have more than one server running at once,
or will alternate different days of the week. This is not dealt with in
a very clean way. Also, sometimes the people who set up the servers leave
and somebody else takes over maintenance, but I'm not going to try to
track those.

The dates for most of these are based on the earliest appearance of the
server in Tom Holub's server FAQ posting (thanks go to Sam Shen and Neil
Cook for sending me about half a dozen each; Sam gets gthe prize for the
earliest known FAQ posting). The earliest date that the server is listed
on an FAQ sheet was used as the server inception date; similarly, the first
date that the server is listed as "down" is used as the retirement date.
Since I don't think I have the complete collection, these dates may be off
by a few months, but they're at least somewhat accurate.

I'm not going to try to list private or temporary servers (for INL or clue
games); this is mainly for "pickup" game servers. A reasonable criteria
for recent servers is that they have to have been advertised on the
metaserver. I've included some extra notes when I think they're
interesting or they'll help people remember a server.

Categories for Netrek servers are:

[B]ronco - the original; includes scam, bronco, guzzler, calvin,
